Uh, okay, novice mistake: apologies for bothering the list.

In case anyone cares, using the Unix SocketPlugin most definitely 
doesn't behave well with Mac OS X (or, at least the way I built it).  A 
quick review of the Project Builder project and a change to the Mac OS 
Socket Plugin (using sqMacNetwork.c), and suddenly the VM handles my 
code just fine.

Again, apologies.
